Waiting for the Mercedes by "Chasp"
Certainly there is a story here; it makes one wonder... Great capture of the mood; the rain is also beautifully photographed as well as the drops falling from the umbrellas. Nicely done Charlie!

"Yosemite-112" by Suzanne Mathia
I thought this was just a lovely image of this plant with drops of water clinging to the leaf. Nice composition and sharpness as well as good use of bokeh. Very nice work Suzanne!

"69" by Bernd Koenemann
Excellent composition! I love the horizons location in the top third of the image as well as the placement of the subject, leaving room for the walk to the right of the image. Wonderful work Bernd!

"FLOOD" by Michel Joffres
Well this image was entered just before the close of the contest and I must tell you in my opinion it is just outstanding! The flow of water seems very dream like; the rocks trees and stumps struggle to resist the onslaught of the flood. Wonderful use of long exposure! Congratulations Michel!
